The Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar was first opened in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in June 2020 by Bo and Sherri Steele. With a love for all things sweet, the founders grew the business from a mom-and-pop shop into a growing franchise. Today, the franchise has eight locations with future locations planned in Alexandria, Virginia and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Alexandria franchisees Erin and Robert Studer discovered The Crazy Mason on a vacation in Myrtle Beach.
